Speaking of Baileys has anyone had the Strawberries and Cream version of it?

Yep, just there at the weekend, its nice, I'd still prefer the original TBH, but its a nice change from the norm.
I'd prefer it to the mint Baileys which I never took too.

Something's should never be messed with.

Baileys & Ice = Classic
Jameson & Ginger Ale = Classic

the rest = passing fads

I've just updated my Christmas list for this year - I keep a list of everyone I need to buy for & then when something pops into my head, I jot it down & then I don't have that panic as the time gets closer of "what the heck am I going to get XYZ". Also helps me keep track of what the Big Man might be bringing the kids

Anyway, the whole point of this post was to say I'm feeling mighty Christmassy right now

I know there’s a few NFL fans on this forum and I’m so excited cause I just got 2 tickets to the Bengal Rams game in Wembley at the end of October.

It’s my first time ever going to a NFL game and my first time ever going to London.

You'll love both!
Went to the Cowboys game at wembley a few years ago, was a fantastic experience, aided by a convincing cowboys win it must be said.

London is a great city too, try to go for a few days & see a bit of it while your there. Its pricey though so be warned.

We’re planning on going for a few days it’s midterm so the wife is off so it’s perfect timing. Oh I reckon it’ll be very pricey. I’ll start saving now.

Lucky you. Have been to London a few times and love it. Never been to an NFL game there (been to one in States). A few friends have gone to London games and said it’s good fun, atmosphere etc

Hope everyone had a nice long weekend. Was extra hard dragging myself (and the kids) out of bed this morning and the rain didn't help!!

Went to Bloom on Sunday, was a last minute thing and while a bit expensive we had a great day. Weather held and the kids had a blast. Brought some food, added a few treats we got there and had a lovely picnic. All in all a really nice chilled family day, which was just what we needed.

Anyone else get up to anything nice?

Ah stop today was built for a duvet day.

I had a wedding on the weekend to go to, who doesn't like a good wedding.

Then there was this little thing called the Champions League final which had a very good outcome

Yesterday was spent vegging, watching love island and eating a takeaway, feel awful today tho

Sounds like a nice mix of getting out and about and chilling at home. Hope the weather was ok for the wedding.

Being a Man U fan, I'm not allowed be happy about the result on Sat
